…which I must say is a pleasant alternative. I’m 2 weeks into married life now and loving it. I’m not trying to brag or anything but I’m pretty sure I married the best girl EVER!! If girls were fireworks, Jen would be the grand finale hands down. Yesterday I came to the break room at work, reached in the fridge, pulled out a tupperware container and for the first time in my life I got to say “My wife made me lunch!”
Leading up to marriage I found myself hearing more of “what to look out for” versus “what to look forward to.” While I know I am extremely green in this whole marriage thing, I’ve found that worrying about the inadequacies, the fears, and the what-if’s is nothing but a waste of time. After all it’s not like I can do anything about them. All I can do is enjoy life, enjoy my wife, and pray for strength when the hard times come. I should go now, I HAVE A WIFE WAITING FOR ME AT HOME!!

Hey, how long before the newlywed, cheesy grin wears off? What’s going on over there that keeps you smiling all the time?
I gotta go. It’s time for a date with my wife and she is F.I.N.E. I’m gonna go do something… nevermind.
Congratulations!

I think the best thing about being married, all perks and jokes aside, is having someone who really cares about my life, and who is interested in hearing more than a 5-second sound bite about my day.
Most people on earth are too wrapped up in their own lives to care about mine, but with me & Neal, my life IS his life. It’s like we’re on the inside together.
That’s the best. The other stuff comes & goes in seasons, but the sharing is forever.
Congratulations!
